Polynode technology for enhanced dairy separation
Achieve higher separation efficiency and capacity with innovative disc technology, reducing energy and water consumption while enhancing the performance of your dairy and beverage production lines.

Enhances Separation and Skimming Efficiency
The Tetra Pak® Separator H80 is engineered to revolutionize dairy and beverage production with its cutting-edge polynode disc design. This separator excels in enhancing separation efficiency while boosting throughput, making it ideal for dairy producers, food manufacturers, and beverage companies. Capable of processing up to 80,000 liters per hour, it ensures an efficient skimming and clarification process for both traditional dairy products like milk and innovative plant-based alternatives.
Utilizing a compact disc stack, the H80 accommodates more separation surface, which translates to superior performance in impurity removal for products such as UHT milk, clarified juices, and ice cream mixes. This equipment supports continuous, automated operation with integration capabilities that fit seamlessly into existing production lines.
Energy consumption is optimized, resulting in a reduced environmental footprint. Constructed with food-grade materials, it offers durability and compliance with industry standards. Maintenance is streamlined with its modular design and Clean-In-Place (CIP) capabilities, ensuring minimal downtime. For custom processing needs, Tetra Pak provides engineering support to tailor the separator to specific requirements.
